Chapter 44.1: Anchor(I)

  She opened both of her eyelids to confront the man in front of her. The man, or the guest popped up randomly, started to show malicious intentions. Though, he was acting friendly beforehand. Those were just actions to perform before showing his true nature. Julia held both of her hands, feeling the knuckles by the fingers’ tops. The constant attribute of each room was also extremely cold, she breathed smoke out of her. Then,…

  [Blue dagger - Blue Caesar Anthem]

  Effect: ???

  Use it?

  Yes

  The blue cursive dagger, which is Julia’s main weapon, appeared from her left hand. The specialty of this weapon of hers is the suitable ability implemented for each specific circumstance. However, she must use her prophecy system to inject the wishes from her correct guesses into the weapon. That’s right, Julia must think of abilities for her own weapon by conditions from her prizes, getting from the system. That’s like installing necessary softwares for the bland computer in order to work. Besides, the dagger can only be used with her dominant hand, which is her left hand.

  ?: “Hmm, interesting. I might want to give it a try to see how sharp and how durable it is.”

  Julia: “You’ll see throughout the battle.”

  ?: “Is that so? If so, I’m hyped for this!”

  The blue cursive dagger shone brightly. A glim of light transversed on the blade, telling how reflecting it is. The dagger’s effect will change depending on the situation. In that case, the weapon wasn’t exposed to any dangers yet, so it didn’t have a specific effect for countering. In her arsenal, there were countless effects that she got from the prizes. If the guy in front of her made the first move, the dagger would have collected the data and analyzed it to pick out the best effect for the dagger. However, when there’s no suitable effect, the system would recommend her the best one to get by conditions.

  To activate the recommendation and find out what was suitable, Julia needed to make the first move or the opponent would make the first move himself. The opponent’s abilities were yet to be discovered. Julia was a bit precautious toward the mysterious guy who remained idle in front of her. She thought of things, such as what if he has the ability that could end her in just one strike?

  But before that,

  Julia: “What’s your name?”

  ?: “Ah! Is this the type of friendly approach that everyone does before committing something serious?”

  Julia: “...”

  ?: “Alright, alright, let me tell you my name. I wonder what you could do with that information though?”

  He willingly said that he will imply his name. The mysterious guy wasn’t aware or he was probably aware of Julia's real intention. If he had the ability to read her mind, he would know what to do and encounter Julia’s upcoming attack. But since he had yet revealed his ability or authority, Julia might be on to a safe option, which separates her from attacking him directly at a near distance.

  Julia was mindfully aware that the mysterious guy could be confident in his power to pervade that kind of dangerous aura. She was sweating, her lips dried, the air was dense and hot, she could feel it within this spacious room. She thought that the room was probably filled with the guy’s magenta aura, the temperature was identical to the boiling water. She thought that the guy may have the ability to manipulate temperature and humidity. However, that was not all, she thought that these couldn’t be the guy’s only abilities in his arsenal. Simply, the dangerous aura from him told her that he must have more than those and the experience in fighting stronger individuals.

  Her right eye glowed, a dark black hue in the iris with multiple shiny stars glowed in harmony. She was thinking of multiple abilities that this guy might have. With her mind and her ‘overthinking’ heredity, she was nonchalantly thinking of what he could have.

  -This guy could have the ability to read minds.

  -This guy could have the authority to control space and time.

  -This guy could have the authority to neutralize all attacks on him.

  -This guy could be almighty.

  -This guy could have the ability to see the future.

  -This guy could have the ability to…

  Warp reality.
